MFG MONKEY | Episode 21 – The power of ProShop (Paul Van Metre)
Friday May 28, 2021
For this week’s episode of The MFG Monkey Podcast, we chatted over Zoom with Paul Van Metre. Paul is the Co-Founder of the software company, ProShop ERP.
Paul walks us through his unique journey from starting a machine shop with some college buddies and coming across a problem that many manufacturers face. They couldn’t find the right program to help them manage their business. So, they decided to take their experience from running a shop and hire a web developer to build their very own software, and out of that ProShop ERP was born.
Eventually, Paul and his partners would go on to sell the machine shop to focus on turning this software program into a real business. And today, ProShop ERP is used by nearly 250 shops and there’s no sign of slowing down.

MFGMonkey Episode 11 with Jonathan Fourney: Conveying Systems Beyond Industry Standards
Friday Jun 05, 2020
MFGMONKEY Episode 11
Jonathan Fourney
Supplier Development Engineer
Jon and Dustin talk about the importance of partner support and the importance of being Made in the USA vs LLC, Low Cost Countries.
We all hear the buzz words about reshoring and Intralox is doing just that. Intralox does not buy much overseas, but what they have been buying is coming back home.
MCMILLANCO, LLC has been able to support them on both sides of the water and have moved product once purchased in China back to the USA and made in Wisconsin and Michigan with our network of Manufacturing partners.
Intralox was founded on the commitment to an idea.
In 1947, Intralox founder JM Lapeyre patented the first industrial shrimp peeler, but encountered problems moving the peeled shrimp on metal conveyor belts due to rust and corrosion building on the belts. He approached major rubber and steel conveyor belt manufacturers to produce a modular plastic belt, but he was told this was not feasible. Undeterred, JM invented the modular plastic conveyor belt in 1970—and thus, in 1971, Intralox was born.
Today, Intralox leads the way in helping customers achieve their goals by offering comprehensive conveyance solutions that create significant economic value. Locally-owned and globally-headquartered in New Orleans, Intralox delivers innovative, premium technology within a direct business model. We understand that every industry deserves its own industry specific team of resources. Therefore, our extensive service infrastructures have an in-depth knowledge of customer applications, and provide technical support and consulting, and 24/7 customer service to help our customers achieve extraordinary results.
Over the last four decades, Intralox has developed a worldwide reputation for ethical and responsible business practices, and maintained our founder’s commitment to treating employees, customers, and suppliers with honesty, fairness, and respect. Our growth and sustained success is the result of a diligent focus on continuous improvement, a core belief that self-managed people are our greatest asset, and a commitment to ideas, teamwork, and effort.
We pushed past the boundaries of traditional conveying systems with the revolutionary invention of modular plastic belting, and continue to move beyond industry standards. With over 800 active patents and new products such as our Activated Roller Belt Technology and FoodSafe Technology, working with Intralox allows you to experience our uncompromising commitment to providing solutions and solving problems for our customers.

MFGMonkey Episode 10 with Will Zell & Michael Bernhard: manufacturing the Future with Vero
Friday May 15, 2020
MFGMONKEY Episode 10: Will Zell Co-Founder & Michael Bernhard Solutions Architect of Nikola – Bringing technology into manufacturing.
Nikola was founded in 2014. Started from working with wireless electricity in the beginning with things such as hearing aids and smart homes to then grow into the manufacturing world.
We discuss the development of technology into the manufacturing world. Will and Michael break down their process of the first phone call to how they are able to successful help manufactures monitor their machines/companies. Expanding into how COVID-19 and how it has affected the manufacturing world and how it is going to make it better in the future.
Please check out the Nikola process: Vero Online Demo
Chapter I: 2015-2017
Nikola Labs started as a pure wireless power company, developing core hardware technology that can enable wireless power in low-power electronic devices.
This chapter included great technological development, such as the launch of the INDRA chip. Developed in partnership with Skyworks Solutions and Texas Instruments, INDRA is the first single-chip solution that incorporates RF to DC conversion and power management. Its small form factor is ideal to be designed into low power sensor devices. While developing INDRA, Nikola pursued and built relationships with companies across many industries interested in incorporating wireless power into their products, which led to the second chapter.
Chapter II: 2017-Beyond
Nikola Labs was introduced to the application of condition monitoring for manufacturing equipment in 2017. As part of the Industrial Internet of Things, sensor-based condition monitoring enables the prediction of machine breakdown before it happens, and proactive maintenance to address problems and prevent unplanned downtime.
The stars aligned so strongly on this application that it led Nikola to focus solely on this application and begin to transform from a wireless power hardware provider to a full solution condition monitoring provider.
This transformation resulted in the late-2018 launch of Vero and the buildout of the service model in 2019 to create a fast-growing organization that serves global manufacturing organizations to help reduce unplanned downtime and save millions of dollars per year.

MFGMonkey Episode 6.3 with Jordan Butler & Rich Brown: Payroll Protection Program Revisited
Friday May 01, 2020
Welcome to MFGMonkey Episode 6.3 Jordan Butler and Rich Brown are back with new Information on the PPP(Payroll Protection Program). This week we talk about the issues companies are facing regarding unemployment
- PPP money is now gone
- how sole props, independent contractors, and eligible self-employed individuals can use the money and get forgiveness
- growing realizing I have that those companies with employees being laid off on what they think is a temp basis who make $25 per hour or lower (Could be higher than that for some), who take unemployment benefits AND the CARE Act $6000 weekly for 4 months may have zero desire to return to work for 4 months. They will make more siting on their couch playing the latest games and watching Netflix.
- What is the rule for compensating employees whose salary is to remain above the $100,000 annual pay level for the measured 8 week period ($15,385 = 8 weeks of pay at $100K rate)?
- Is higher pay allowed?
- Tracking of payroll and expenses once in the 8 week cycle and how to maximize the forgiveness opportunity to convert the loan to grant by keeping payroll over 80 percent of the applicant average level to avoid penalty.
- utilizing all allowable expenses up to 25 percent to reach the total of the loan i(Which is 2.5 months of average payroll)
- Growing realizing I have that those companies with employees being laid off on what they think is a temp basis who make $25 per hour or lower (Could be higher than that for some), who take unemployment benefits AND the CARE Act $6000 weekly for 4 months may have zero desire to return to work for 4 months. They will make more sing on their couch playing the latest games and watching Netflix.
- Funding was just today exhausted on PPP loans approved. There is no more cash until congress allocate more.

SBA’s FAQ was updated yesterday and today. Today’s update came out after the podcast. Link is below. In terms of what we care most about, this is the key addition:
20. Question: The amount of forgiveness of a PPP loan depends on the borrower’s payroll costs over an eight-week period; when does that eight-week period begin?
Answer: The eight-week period begins on the date the lender makes the first disbursement of the PPP loan to the borrower. The lender must make the first disbursement of the loan no later than ten calendar days from the date of loan approval.

Episode 6.1 series PPP (Payroll Protection Programs)
In this significant episode, we discuss PPP (Paycheck Protection Programs) and what it means for you now, and more importantly, what this program or these programs mean for you and your company’s future. We dive into this topic from a user’s standpoint. Now that you have read all of the emails and information you can find; HOW do you apply, and how do you use this program. What are qualified expenses, and what are now qualified expenses? Rich and I discuss this not from a banker, accountant, or attorney point of view. But an owner’s perspective in the manufacturing world and how we are strategically planning to capture talent now that just a month ago would not have been available.
Rich sent me this message two days before our podcast, and I couldn’t agree more.
“The need to project business impact and plan financially for survival and a strong re-entry into a very different market when the economy is re-started is critical. Assuming the underlying economic strength before the pandemic allows a true V-Shape rebound, the competition will be feeble. Thus there is an opportunity for growth for companies strong enough and strategic enough to come through stable and with a plan to serve clients well and with new models and tools.
